EMBODIED YOGA EXPLORATION & STUDIES

breath & movement • meditation • non-dual philosophy

​​

Former architect, I started to delve into the world of yoga because of a health issue. Severe anxiety, manifesting throughout my body, brought me to my first class. But, beyond the search for healing, other things began to arise, and from that first class, I never left.

​

That experience led me to my first yoga teacher training, seeking to deepen my practice. I was so in love with it, even after years of practice, that I felt the need to start teaching and to continue deepening both my studies and my personal practice.

​

I face the practice as a limitless playground, where exploration is not only welcome, but necessary.

The more willing you are to explore, the deeper you go and the more you’re called to listen - the process will naturally guide you.

 

With a deep and inexplicable love for this tradition, I feel that something greater than me pulls me into an ongoing exploration of all its layers: meditation, philosophy, history, sound, mantra, body, mind-body connection. I cannot imagine dedicating my life to anything else than studying and living it.

 

Deepening and flowing through the philosophy of Non-Dual Śaiva Tantra (Classical Tantra), I allow my practice to unfold at its own rhythm and in its own way, seeking every day the truth of what I am. ​What I share comes from that same unfolding.
